ACES of Eastern Illinois Competition
Mr. Andrew Jackson & Mrs. Jenna Maierhofer
The ACES academic challenge event is a high school competition that was created by University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and currently continued by Eastern Illinois University. It consists of a varsity team of 14 students, an unlimited team of JV students, and some At-Large competitors from schools across Illinois. Students compete against one another, and as a team in seven categories including Biology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Math, Physics, Engineering Graphics, and English. Contests are held annually on three different levels, regional, sectional, and state. A team or an individual may qualify for the next level by placing 3rd or better on a timed test in their category. Since there are only a few spots for students on the team, it is by invite only. Coaches seek recommendations from the teachers of Seneca High School in determining their squad.
